Chapter 233 The Darkest Hour

It's evening and night is approaching.

The rain eased a bit, but the wind got stronger.

Rand is a man who is very afraid of death.

But Rand now hopes that fewer of his men will die.

In order to defend this land, the soldiers on the defense line paid a huge sacrifice. The villagers, soldiers, and minotaurs in the villages also paid a huge sacrifice.

And now, the soldiers around Rand are about to sacrifice themselves.

Rand felt that he should not stand back and wait for him to charge.

Moreover, many of these soldiers were brought up, selected, educated, and promoted by him, and Rand did not want them to die.

Although war will inevitably involve sacrifices.

Standing in front of the formation is definitely more dangerous than standing behind it, but he has two strong men protecting him, so the risk is actually not that great.

And he also has his personal guard.

And the benefits, at least Rand believes, are worth it.

"I'm Rand Nicholas." Just as the enemy's army was about to approach, Rand signaled the flag bearer to plant the flag with his family emblem on the ground.

Flags printed with wheat ears, crossed swords, and shields fluttered in the rain and wind, rustling.

Rand was just an ordinary young man. Many of Perrault's soldiers and knights only got to know Rand when they set out for the south.

Rand's reputation is quite good, but as Rand's enemy, Count Flying Fox will definitely not allow his soldiers to spread Rand's deeds.

Therefore, most of them only knew that Rand was a tough enemy.

And in the past few days, some well-informed people know a little about Rand's deeds.

But not sure if it is true.

And in just this one day, they realized what this thorny situation meant.

They had never fought such a difficult battle with an advantage, and they really doubted whether they were really in an advantageous position.

"At the beginning, I faced the threat and blocked the attack of more than 200 people of Baron Huyuan with only 50 soldiers."

"During the civil war, I led the 5th Legion of Infantry and first defeated the enemy's 2nd Legion, killing countless enemies. Then, when faced with a dangerous situation, I personally led the charge, and killed the fourth prince who had turned into a demon."

Rand's voice was extremely penetrating, echoing through the rain and the strong wind.

"When I first acquired this land, many barons and viscounts wanted to provoke me..."

"On the King's Road, I led the guards to defend the Skeleton Sea..."

"In the friction war with the Kingdom of Lensa, I was in a losing position, but I defeated the Snow Fox Countess who was about to win the victory with fewer troops..."

"Why do you dare to challenge me——"

Rand was originally a relatively humble person, but if you think about it carefully, he has done a lot of things so far, including braving arrows and stones and fighting day and night.

And he has indeed achieved many things worthy of boasting.

And listening to these deeds, no matter how Perrault roared orders, his infantry corps moved slower and slower.

Until they were about ten steps away from Rand.

In the dusk, the light was orange-red and somewhat dim, and they could not see the face of this young man who seemed too young.

However, in the rain, the young man's clear voice still reached their ears along with the strong wind.

“Maybe you didn’t know who I was before.”

"But now you know now."

At this time, Pero had already realized that the situation was not good. He no longer cared about the loss of the exchange ratio and ordered the Flying Fox Army to charge.

As the special force of Count Feihu, the Flying Fox Army, elite knights, are theoretically more loyal and at least should not be affected like the infantry.

But they are also more knowledgeable and more aware of the truth of what Rand said and what it means.

What were previously just knowledge, have turned into personal experiences in the past few days.

The leader on the opposite side was still showing off his might and boasting about his great achievements.

They were indeed a little afraid.

However, as their duty required, they charged forward fearlessly, using their flesh and blood and the armor on their bodies to face the spears.

As long as you can defeat the opponent, you can directly decide the victory.

If we fail to do so, it is very likely that we will suffer a crushing defeat without even fighting, even though we appear to have a significant advantage in strength.

The strong wind not only blew Rand's flag, but also made Rand's robe flutter.

"If you turn your back on me and run away now."

"So--"

"You will receive my pardon."

"otherwise."

"Just--, face me!"

Rand's voice was carried to the ears of everyone present along with the strong wind.

The magic steel armor guards used their bodies and weapons to fight against the Flying Fox Army.

As for the White King's personal guards and the Torch Knights, they also launched a charge at this time.

Originally, the infantrymen wanted to move forward.

Then they saw that the Flying Fox Knights were stopped by the enemy's infantry.

Although they are still advancing due to the advantages of armor and weapons, their speed is getting slower and slower.

Moreover, it seemed that many soldiers' weapons were purely poisonous. Even the physically strong Feihu soldiers turned red in the face and could hardly control themselves after being scratched by the weapons of some of the plate-armored guards.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

And at this time.

The enemy knights, who looked extremely powerful, also rushed over, although their numbers were small.

However, when we were on the defense line and in the village, weren’t the number of enemies small?

Fatigue and fear finally took over their hearts.

Rand's words about pardoning those who turned their backs on him and fled echoed in their hearts over and over again.

If we move forward, we will have to face an army that is destined to be difficult, with excellent martial arts and strong fighting will.

To face the indifferent Viscount Rand standing in the wind and rain.

Gradually, people began to escape.

It only took a few breaths to go from one or two to dozens or hundreds.

If there are only one or two people running away on the battlefield, then the warlord will be useful.

But if the number is too large, the supervisory troops may not escape with them.

Perrault was not too surprised that his soldiers escaped.

Like Rand, he also stood under the rain, but he did not run away.

Realizing that something was wrong, Pero did not pay much attention to the Flying Fox Army that wanted to come to support him.

Nor did they stop anyone from escaping.

Rand breathed a sigh of relief. The situation was much easier than he had imagined.

Flanked by Olenna and Lysa, Rand walked up to Perrault.

"Aren't you going to run away?" Rand asked.

"It doesn't make sense," Perrault replied.

"Capture him." Rand ordered his guards to tie Pero up.

Pero took a few steps back, blood oozing from his mouth and nose: "That's not necessary. I have to go see my brother."

A standard villain ending, Rand commented in his mind.

but!

He is the great Mother Goddess's messenger Rand. He cannot order anyone to die, but if he does not want someone to die, then as long as he is still alive, it would be very difficult for him to die.

The blessing of plundering and filling flesh and blood requires consent, but the Mother Goddess's desire to share, although it will bring powerful side effects, at the same time, it will also bring powerful recovery.

In short, although he may not be able to be saved, he will not die for a while.

Rand looked at Pero, who was burning with desire and had a purple face, and said, "If you agree, I will find you a whore."

Perot was now enduring unimaginable torture.

But due to the desire to share, he was still able to speak.

"Agree with what?"

Rand smiled maliciously: "It doesn't matter, you just have to agree."

Rand needed to remove his poison-infected internal organs, so he had to get his consent.

Pero felt that he would not die in a short time, and finally he could not bear the torture anymore, so he said that he would agree to this thing, even though he did not know what it was.
